Fujitsu Scansnap

As for scanning documents - I am looking into a fujitsu scansnap 1500 duplex scanner. I figure it would get many piles of my paperwork reduced and it will scan legal size too.

Does anyone have any experiences with the scansnap scanners?

l've put these into a large accounting firm and they love them. They are quick and give good resolution (not as good as a photo scanner would), come with the ABBY OCR software. If you're scanning non-standard sized pieces of paper; i.e. cash register receipts, they have sheet covers that allow them to be fed as full size.

Is the resolution about photo copy quality, or is it better? Also, IIRC about what I've read, doesn't it also come with Adobe Standard as well as the ABBY?

Only thing stopping me right now is the $400 cost. But it would be nice to have my office and paper storage better organized.

Is there any other duplex scanners that you would recommend, or should I just bite the bullet and buy the scansnap?

CDs and DVDs are not a good method of backing up data, they suffer from what some people refer to as "Disc Rot", where the media will start to get holes in the protective layer. If you have any really old music CDs, you may have noticed it, hold them up to the light you may see some holes forming. I had 20-30 CDs containing old back-ups from around 2000, about 50% of them had signs of CD rot.
